Fireplace Insert
Basically a fireplace insert is designed to be installed into an existing fireplace location and convert the operation of that fireplace to another fuel source. The fireplace insert offers the same convenience and safety features of other fireplaces. Gas units are manufactured with ceramic logs enclosed in a combustion chamber complete with a glass front.
If you decide to install a fireplace insert you need to ensure that the chimney is equipped with an approved vent, this may require you to reline the chimney. Modifications to your chimney may be required depending on what type you install i.e. Wood fireplace inserts, gas fireplace inserts or another type, please check with the manufacturer for details.
Many of these units offer a variety of convenient features such as remote control operation and gas logs. A gas fireplace insert is very efficient at providing warm air circulation but could be improved further by adding a fan unit. Adding a screen of other type of accessory will also add to overall look and realism of your fireplace.
